Diplomat Blue Or Black Ink?

While ordering a pen, I found that Diplomat sells blue and black ink. I threw in a 30ml bottle of blue ink as part of the order and should get the ink in a week or so.

 

Does anyone have a bottle? I'm wondering if I just bought something re-branded or if Diplomat has their own ink.

 

I'll post my thoughts once I get it in and give it a run, of course.

Mike let us know. What about doing a CRV with Diplomat Blue and the great blue comparison?

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Hopefully I will have it within two weeks. I have plenty of blue inks in the collection to run comparisons, but I think I've sampled this before when I bought a Magnum Soft Touch. It was a nice blue, kind of close to J. Herbin Éclat de Saphir if I recall correctly.

Let me get the ink and play with it first. If it's something like Pelikan 4001 Royal Blue, I don't want to waste a slot in the blue comparison. But I will note what I find.

Arrived yesterday and just inked up.

Ink looks a LOT like Pelikan 4001 Royal Blue, but let me work through it in case there was water in the feed.

The pen feels like a tank and writes like a nail.

 

Let me print out a couple of review sheets on Staples 20-lb and see what I can doctor up.

Oh, that doesn't sound fun.

It's a butter-smooth nail. :D I actually quite like it. The mass is a bit crazy though: 35g posted/capped (and back-heavy when posted); something like 27g unposted but nicely balanced. Clip is not on the cap end, so the nib always points down when clipped to a pocket (instead of up). This might be a "desk diva".

 

I'll try to write out tests this weekend.

Still working on the review. I still think it is a match for J. Herbin Eclat de Saphir, but I'll have to see if I have a sample.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
